Slow in paying claims
I like that you pay for illness/wellness including heart worm and flea protection. My gripe is the turnaround time for payments. I faxed in 6/12/18 and received notification of payment 7/3/18. I have previously used another pet insurer and their turnaround time was less.

So helpful, caring, and thoughtful through difficult times
My 3 1/2 year old AmStaff needed knee surgery. Obviously I was upset and concerned for him, but remembered that I at least had pet insurance and that should help my walled! I called ASPCA to review my policy, see what was covered, and ask how to file the paperwork. Their paperwork is easy enough to download online, and mostly easy enough to understand as well. I had questions about filing for a pre-approval, and the woman I spoke with was so kind and helpful and wished me and my dog well and was genuinely sad and sorry he was going through all of this. The pre-approval came back quickly, and everything was as explained. Once I received the paperwork from my vet, the vet sent everything to ASPCA and filed for me directly which was a huge help as well. Within the same amount of time as the pre-approval (maybe a week or so) I was notified that everything was approved/accepted and that I would receive payment. The online system is so easy to use that I wish I had thought to sign up for direct deposit, but the check came fairly quickly. I also did not have to log in to stalk the status of the approval since ASPCA emails me whenever new information on the claim is available. All around, great pet insurance. I wish I never needed it, however it's so nice to know they're here for me and my dog!

Too much stress
It takes a lot of work to get a payment for your claim. I have to call and call and it's very stressful.

Prompt response
Cody recently had a hot spot for which he had to see the vet. I submitted a claim for the visit and received prompt reimbursement. So far Nationwide has been responsive and very user friendly.

Easy Claims Processing
I love the ease of submitting my claim information right from my phone and having the benefits direct deposited into my account. It doesn’t get easier than that!

Great insurance
Love recouping 90% of my costs. You can receive reimbursement electronically which is nice. However, there are extremes on the timeline of when you receive reimbursement. It ranges from 1 week to 3 weeks later. I really like this product. I'm waiting for the day they reimburse the vet directly like with human insurance.

Faster Processing
Faster processing of claims would be nice. My dog’s foot was completely healed by the time I received payment. Also a texting a claim option would be ideal. Just snapped a phone of the claim and receipts and be done. I’ve tried with the email and the attachments always get rejected.
